Reddit bans an anti-natalist group after Palm Springs explosion
www.nbcnewyork.com
Reddit has banned a community devoted to a nihilistic, anti-life philosophy after the FBI said a weekend explosion outside a Palm Springs, California, fertility clinic was linked to a suspect who held anti-natalist beliefs.

Oh gosh, I wonder how long they had this community on their site! This must be a new phenomenon that just slipped through the cracks! Let me check Archive.org…

CW: Suicide

Oh… this community has been active since 2013…

Time to hide your crimes, right, Reddit? Fucking dog shit website has a long history of hosting the most depraved and vile shit without a single peep until the media comes sniffing around.

“Violence has no place on Reddit,” the spokesperson said. “Our sitewide rules strictly prohibit any content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence. In line with these rules, we are removing any instances of the suspect’s manifesto or recordings and hashing to prevent reupload. We’re also closely monitoring the communities on our platform to ensure compliance with our rules.”

The same site that popularized the usage of “Orcs” when talking about Russians, maintains a popular subreddit called r/CombatFootage with 1.8 million users.

        This gave me an idea. Ended up being awful

        CW: Cognitohazard, death

        Luffy Monkey D. was the one in class

        Who never got brutally harassed

        This went on for years

        After .world decided that never again

        Would he debate another bear

        So he walked through the door

        Grabbed a four-four and made a website to explain all his lore

        And said there should be life no more

        And like that life can be lost

        But this ain’t even about that

        All of us just sat back

        And watched it happen

        Thinkin’ it’s not my responsibility to bully an asshole

        That isn’t federated with me

        This is our problem

        This is just one of the daily scenarios

        Which we choose to close our eyes

        Instead of doing the right thing

        If we make a choice and be the voice for

        Pigs who shit all over themselves

        How many lives would be saved, changed, rearranged

        Now it’s our time to pick a side

        So don’t keep postin’ by

        Not wanting to intervene

        'Cause you wanna exist and never be mean

        So let’s log on and change the world

        Our time is now
